| 13 | Analysis and Presentation of Student Evaluations of Faculty Data Using SAS | Richard K. Ford, Bruce R. Lewis, Steven F. Thomson, Kenneth E. Wagner |
Eastern Kentucky University has recently endorsed Student Evaluations of Faculty (SEF) as a concept. However, as with any agreement in principle, the mechanics of actually implementing such a plan creates many problems. Two of the concerns expressed by the faculty in discussing the principle of SEF were the method of analyzing the results and the use of the results. The faculty was in almost total agreement that the evaluations would be worthwhile if they provided feedback to the instructor and were not used in promotion decisions. Therefore, having the evaluation results for each faculty member compared only to his own efforts was a desirable quality of the analysis process. | proc step, dataset | source | 3 |

| 22 | Computer Generated Repeatable Examinations | Edward L. Spitznagel | For a number of years, we have used a take-horne examination system that combines some of the best features of homework assignments and in-class examinations. Each student receives a set of unique problems to be completed within a period of several days. Because no two students receive the same problem, grading can be based on the anSwers alone, and the students can be given several tries to work the problems correctly. The instructor has the advantage of asking ;ealistically hard problems, and the stud cnts have the advantage of being able to work on them without the time pressure usually induced by in-class examinations.

| 23 | Conversational Data Input System: An Interface between VS BASIC and SAS | Barbara Forsyth, John David Rumpel |
The purpose of an information system is to provide decision makers with facts relevant to important issues~ The generation of this crucial information usually requires individuals with 8pecia11zed training in data entry. The present paper describes a user-oriented inter active information system. Utilizing the Com mand List (C-List) facility in Virtual Storage Personal Computing (VSPC), input processes are simplified and pertinent statistical infor mation is provided. The input program. written in VS BASIC, creates a raw data file appropriately formatted for use by SAS. Through SAS~ the new data file is merged with a master file and the desired statistics are produced by appropriate SAS procedures. Both the BASIC and SAS programs are accessed by on~ command which activates the C-List. The system described here is currently employed by the Social and Behavioral Sciences Laboratory at the University of South Carulina to monitor the utilization of satellite facili ties | data science, dataset, usage data | source | 5 |

| 33 | Frequency Distributions of Randomly Arranged Values in a SAS Data Set with over a Million Observations | Robert L. Clements, Richard A. Fleenor |
Every week during a clinical animal experiment various observations relating to the condition of the anima19 ar~ recorded. IheT~ are a total of 68 possible conditions that may be observed on any giv""'n animal e~ch .... eek~ Each of these 68 conditions are assign~d a unique character code. these codes are then recorded on the live animal data base in the order that the care:::akers ovservEd then. Up to l8even of these codes are observed each week for each animal. Over the duration of the EnOl I".xperiment conducted at the National Center for Toxicological Research, the number of cha~act(:'r strings (animal-weeks) reflecting the condition of the animals exc~edcd two million.

| 34 | Further Properties of the Pair Chart | John L. Stedl | Within the framework of a pair chart the random variable In is defined to be the number of intersections with the 45° line thru the origin. The distribution of In is given along with its use in testing Ho: F = G~ The results are for the equal sample size ~ase only. An example is given. Introduc tion Sinha and Hardy (1), at the 19 79 SUGI meet ing, presented a SAS macro for plotting the "pair chart" which provides a graphical comparison of two variables in the two-sample problem~ The pair chart also provides a convenient format for computing the Uann-Whi tuey and other nonparamet ric statistics. This paper presents, in the equal sample size easet the distributional prop erties of the number of intersections with the 45° line thru the origin in a pair chart. This is of special interest since this 45° line repre sents equality of the two distributions | sample, sample size | source | 1 |

| 38 | Interfacing SAS with RAPID (Relational Access Processor for Integrated Databases) | Herbert L. Cover | The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) will be responsible for processing, updating, analyzing, and publ ishing a large quantity of data call ected quarterly through the Cant iRuing Consumer Expenditure Survey (CCES). The data base will be stored categorically into a family information file, an individual family member characteristics file, and expenditure group files such as clothing~ food, insurance, etc. Each file, or relation. can be viewed as a dense matrix, in which a row is present only if a family is represented, and the col umns are the correspona ing attributes. Each re 1 at ion will have a common attribute, the family identification number, to allow information linkage. The structure of this database appears to be well suited for RAPID, a database manage ment system developed by Statistics Canada adapted to the "relational II model first popularized by E.F. Codd of I.B.M. Each matrix is stored by col umn rather than row, allowing efficient retrieval of selected attributes | dataset, proc step, variable, format statement, sample | source | 6 |

This paper deals with methods of handling large regression problems that require iterative maximum likelihood calculations. Ways of fitting a single model or of selecting variables by using forward stepwise or backward elimination algorithms are surveyed. Two supplemental SAS procedures using these methods (PHGLM for Cox Proportional Hazard General Linear Model and LOGIST for logistic binary regression) are discussed. | likelihood function, response variable, regression analysis, logistic distribution, proc step | source | 4 |
| 61 | Quality Assurance Controls in Research Data Base Management: Nonsense Codes in Hierarchical File Structures | Steven P. Cobb, Karen L. Daniels, Michael P. Farrell, A. Dale Magoun, C. H. Pennington, Harold Schramm, Rodney H. Strand |
In complex studies using multip1e data bases composed of hierarchical file structures. there is a high probability that errorS may be perpetuated into summary reports unless some form of quality assurance is integrated into the research data base management program. In studies that substftute numeric codes for variable values, this problem of error ~ropa gation is even 1I10re acute. This paper add.ress es the problem of error propagation in those studies employing a coding scheme to re~resent longer alphanumeric values. Several approaches are available that mini mize errOrS in coding var1ables~ Nurreric codes with embedded information allocated to )ositions within the va1ue codes are widely used but unac ceptable for varlables with many values and/or many levels of classification. Such "smartll codes n2quire a full knowledge of the universe the variables describe as well as the potential classification schemes for each variable | sample, quality assurance, proc format, quality control, proc freq, proc step | source | 5 |
| 62 | Recent Developments in BMDP of Special Interest to SAS Users | James W. Frane | Several new features and modules have been added to SMOP since I addressed the $AS Users Group in 1978. The 1979 edition of the BMDP manual has been published. Many new documents have appeared. The latest version of SMOP is dated November 1979. This ¥ersion has been distributed to all licensed SMOP recipients that have IBM and similar systems. The SAS-BMDP interface was improved and te,ted before the rel.ase. The special 5AS-BMDP interface makes it especially easy for ,SAS users to execute BM~P programs with SA5 f,les. The value of th,s interface is evidenced by its many users. B~DP continues to grow and to supplement procedures found in 5AS.

As a result, those companies are seeking a "capacity planning system" that is service lev,e] driven; however, it is the contention of this author that such a system does not edst today.
